R. Madhavan & Nayanthara’s Tamil Film TEST Set for Netflix Premiere on April 4
Netflix is all set to present TEST, an intense Tamil drama that explores the lives of three individuals caught at a crossroads, all while a gripping cricket match unfolds in the background. The film, starring R. Madhavan, Nayanthara, Siddharth, and Meera Jasmine, is Netflix’s first original Tamil release of 2025.
A Story Beyond the Cricket Field
TEST isn’t just about the sport—it’s about the tough choices life throws at us. The film follows its lead characters as they navigate moral dilemmas, testing their resilience, ambition, and personal sacrifices. With each decision carrying immense weight, the narrative builds on the idea that one moment has the power to alter everything.
Directorial Debut of S. Sashikanth
Produced by YNOT Studios, TEST marks the directorial debut of S. Sashikanth, who has previously nurtured impactful stories as a producer. Reflecting on his transition to directing, he shared, “Having nurtured stories as a producer for years, stepping into the director’s chair for TEST was both exhilarating and deeply personal.”
He further added, “This film is about resilience, the burden of choices, and how life itself is the ultimate test. Bringing together R. Madhavan, Nayanthara, and Siddharth—three powerhouse performers—made this journey even more special. I’m grateful to YNOT Studios, Netflix, and my incredible team for bringing this vision to life. I can’t wait for the world to witness TEST.”
A Thrilling Moral Drama
Netflix India’s Vice President of Content, Monika Shergill, expressed her enthusiasm for the project, stating, “TEST” marks our first Tamil original feature film of 2025. It’s a gripping drama-thriller that pushes the moral boundaries of its three protagonists.”
Blurring the line between hero and villain, TEST challenges its characters to make life-altering choices, proving that sometimes, the greatest battles aren’t fought on the field but within ourselves. With its star-studded cast and high-stakes narrative, TEST is shaping up to be a must-watch when it premieres on April 4.
